The technique of freeze-etching for electron microscopy applied to isolated islets of
Langerhans has permitted a successful evaluation of emiocytotic events on the cell surface.
The frequency of these events in stimulated cells suggests that emiocytosis represents a
significant mechanism for insulin release.
